java VM but also dotNet VM? in order to have a wide range of developpers
on Eclipse first, but also to think about the future. Actually 90% of the
user plateforms are Windows... In 2 years , Longhorn will come on these
plateforms, and then dotNet framework too!!! The future may be dotNet and
not Java, especially since Sun didn't want to opensource it :(
The idea is maybe to encourage the IKVM developpers to work tightly with
the Eclipse community to ba able to run eclipse on dotNet framework and
then to envisage to build plugins with mixed code like Java+C# ...

Indeed, Java will die if everybody says "ah, Java might well die soon so
let's switch to .NET". Kind of a vicious circle. Personally I consider
that struggling against MS domination is a citizen duty.
Java migh not be the best language or platform ever, but at least it is
limiting MS's grasp on the IT industry.
